New Links

Howdy Folks,


Just wanted to let everyone know I have add some new links to the blog. They are to your right as you look at the screen and towards the top.



These links will take you to websites of various Down Syndrome support groups. These are all groups that Tara and I have found to have good information, and many opportunities to get out and get active. These groups are also great resource for encouragement. I know Tara have made a new friend or two that are supporters and advocates for these groups. We are grateful for their friendship, support, encouragement and excitement about our precious Laura. For those who have put us in contact with some of these groups, thank you.

Most of these groups are local to the greater Houston area. However, this means that there is a good chance that there are similar groups in your local area. Search the web. Talk to your family, friends and docotrs. You never know who knows who until you start asking. The National Down Syndrome Society may be able to put you in contact with local support groups as well.

Now for the updates. At the doctor's appointment this past Monday Laura weighed 8 pounds on the nose and over 20 inches long. She has had her first Hep B immunization as well as her newborn screens (both were done at Texas Children's Hospital). She did not like having either of these done, not that I blame her who wants to be jabbed with a needle. But she came through it like a champ.

Psalm 127: 3

"Behold, children are a gift of the Lord,

The fruit of the womb is a reward."
